Austin Airport Gate Numbers To Change Amid Brisk Growth

AUSTIN, TX — Growth at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is so brisk, it's necessitated a change in the gate numbers. Suffice it to say: Gate 25 will soon be Gate 34.

In a press advisory on Tuesday, airport officials said the original gate numbers of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport will start to change the night of July 31. The gate renumbering was sparked by the addition of nine new gates as part of the terminal expansion currently underway.

In an invitation to media to witness the changes, officials said reporters can expect the Gate 22 jet bridge sign changing or having been changed to Gate 31 and possibly Gate 24 changing to Gate 33.

The renumbering will start with Gate 25, which will become Gate 34, and work its way east down through the numeric system to where the new expanded concourse area meets the original concourse, officials said. The renumbering is scheduled to occur in multiple phases through October 2018. The process will change all gate numbers – on concourse, jet bridges, jet parking, directional/wayfinding signs etc., airport officials said in their press advisory.

The gate changes will occur five at a time with modifications occurring approximately every two weeks.

Helpfully, airport officials offered "gate remembering maps." Red numbers indicate existing gate numbers, while blue circles with white numbers indicate new number for gates. The phase one map shows gate number changes to occur July 31 through Aug. 1.
